Can I paste a sessionstore.js from Firefox 27.0.1 (XP) into Firefox 28 (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?
I saved my wife's tabs from Firefox 27.0.1 (XP) and installed Ubuntu 12.04 and Firefox 28. Now my life depends on my being able to restore her tabs. I am new to Ubuntu and I can't seem to find where sessionstore.js is located. I turned on hidden files, to no avail. I seem to be missing something.

Note Firefox's sessiorestore sytem tends to be slightly fragile. Try not to over rely on it. At least ensure any important open pages are bookmarked.
Firefox sync may help but that is also rather trouble prone. Firefox sync may improve in Firefox 29 with the new Firefox accounts, but personally I would not rely heavily on that either. Firefox sync may also scramble bookmarks so make sure you not only bookmark but also make manually backup your bookmarks.
- Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer_manual-backup
- How do I set up Sync on my computer?
As for the lifesaver, the easiest method is to open the profile from the option in the troubleshooting information page of a running Firefox. Then close Firefox and find the files to copy.

Note that Windows does not always display the .js extension filenames you may need to check the Windows options are set to display filename dot extensions.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
- ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/
